Sunderland designer uses 24,000 screws for Beatles artwork

An artist has created an image of The Beatles using more than 24,000 screws.

Darren Timby, a graphic designer from Sunderland, spent about 120 hours making the portrait of George Harrison, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney.

He said his decision to use screws was a way to pay homage to his hometown’s roots as an industrial city.

“Ship building and coal mining are all part of our history and the screw art is almost like a nod to where I’m from,” he said.
